MOUNT WASHINGTON — U.S. Forest Service snow rangers said a skier got buried in an avalanche in Left Gully in Tuckerman Ravine on Mount Washington last Friday afternoon but survived.

“Like the incident two weeks ago, when two hikers fell down the Tuckerman Headwall, it could have turned out worse,” said Frank Carus, lead snow ranger/director of the Mount Washington Avalanche Center Monday. "He is lucky to be alive."
